I love the way You (C)hold me.

In Your arms I’ll (G)al ways be.

You take each and ev ’ry day, make it spe cial in some way.

I (Dm7)love You more than my words in my brain can ex press.

I can’t i (F)mag ine e ven lov ing You less.

Lord, I love the way You (C)hold me.

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh.

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Well, You took my day and You (G)flipped it a round, calmed the tid al wave and put my (F)feet on the ground.

For ev er in my heart, al ways on my mind.

It’s (Am7)cra zy how I think a bout You (F)all of the time.

And just when I think I’m ’bout to fig ure You out,

You make me wan na sing and shout.

I love the way You I’m so

grate ful and (Am7)thank ful for all You’ve done.

Wish I could tell You in a short sto ry or poem, but all I have is my (Am7)voice and this gui tar.

And You have my (G)heart.

Ooh, I love the way You (C)hold me.

By my side You’ll (G)al ways be.

You take each and ev ’ry day, make it spe cial in some way.

I love the way You (C)hold me.

In Your arms I’ll (G)al ways be.

You take each and ev ’ry day, ev ’ry day.

I love the way You (C)hold me.

By my side You’ll (G)al ways be.

You make each and ev ’ry day, oh, so spe cial.

I love the way You (C)hold me.

In Your arms I’ll (G)al ways be.

You take each and ev ’ry day, make it spe cial in some way.

I can’t i (F)mag ine e ven lov ing You less.

Hold Me by Toby McKeehan — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Hold Me” by Toby McKeehan in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 134 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
